A powerful story inspired by true events. A winner of two Sundance awards. But the question is, is it entertaining? The film is well made and generally the acting is quite good. The film has atmosphere and is somewhat moving. However, the story is slow to get going and just sort of plods along to a very predictable ending. For production quality and direction we would give this movie an 8, for entertainment the most we would award is a 4. Will we watch it again, probably not.
It took me a long time to find this movie. I was really excited when it arrived. It was nothing like I expected and it really disappointed me. I finished up switching it off half way through. I love chess and I loved the published story line. What I received was an ill thought out badly filmed amateur movie. It did not help that most of the dialogue was so badly recorded or spoken, not sure which, that you could not understand what was being said most of the time. If you are considering this movie, do not bother, our copy is going in the bin.
A fast moving thriller that keeps you entertained. To be honest it is more a "Boys Film". The acting's pretty good, the story line is not bad and the action shots and stunts are intense. A typical "Spy Movie" with all the ingredients to keep you awake. This is the third time we have seen this movie and we will watch it again in the future.
